Tasks Hook Thread last updated on 2005-11-26 18:29:34

Posted by member 287251 on 2005-11-25 20:02:04

I've been attempting to hook Tasks (tasks-0.92-b3) to a lsbox but cant seem to get it. How would I do this ??

If I were you I wouldn't use LSBox at all, try xLabel instead. Practically nobody uses LSBox nowadays, and I don't know how many modules are compatible with it anymore.

I'll try that thanks

*ModuleHook !TasksBoxHook
Be sure to load tasks before lsbox.

(Note: The above mentioned info was, of course, in the readme.)

Btw, if you want more features and stuff, you could use xtaskbar and xlabel instead.

Also, here's a hooking example I posted a while back (with xlabel and lsxcommand - same idea): click

Okay now i've switched to xlabel and xtaskbar and now I've hooked it and all I get is a gray outline of the taskbar box on the box i'm trying to put it in. I've read xlabel and I've put in:
*xTaskbar Task
*label Task
TaskLoadInBox
Taskusesolidcolors
Taskbordermethod etched
Taskusebuttonsolidcolors
Taskbuttonbordermethod raised
Taskactivebuttonbordermethod sunken
Taskminimizedbuttonbordermethod bump

TaskLayout ".vertical"
Taskx 20
Tasky 20
Taskwidth 200
Taskheight 300

Tasktopborder 4
Taskbottomborder 4
Taskleftborder 10
Taskrightborder 10

Taskbuttonxspacing 4
Taskbuttonyspacing 2

Taskbuttonmaxheight 25
Taskbuttonmaxwidth 200

Taskfontleftborder 24
Taskiconx 4

*ModuleHook !LabelLSBoxHook Task


and this in the box i'm trying to load it into

*Label Taskbar1280

LsBoxName taskbar
LsBoxX 0
LsBoxY 1
LsBoxHeight 1280
LsBoxWidth 170
LsBoxUnique
LSBoxDragRect 0 0 0 0
;LsBoxStartHidden
LsBoxBackGround taskbar.bmp

TaskLoadInBox
*ModuleHook !LabelLSBoxHook Task


Whats wrong ??

you have defined your ModuleHook twice and you used a | which you can't use.

Posted by member 32550 on 2005-11-26 03:16:51 link

This is all totally wrong!
Do you still use LSBox!?
It's not very intelligent to use a taskbar, hook it into a label and then hook it into a lsbox!?

Try this:
xTaskbarLoadInBox
xTaskbarusesolidcolors
xTaskbarbordermethod etched
xTaskbarusebuttonsolidcolors
xTaskbarbuttonbordermethod raised
xTaskbaractivebuttonbordermethod sunken
xTaskbarminimizedbuttonbordermethod bump

xTaskbarLayout ".vertical"
xTaskbarx 20
xTaskbary 20
xTaskbarwidth 200
xTaskbarheight 300

xTaskbartopborder 4
xTaskbarbottomborder 4
xTaskbarleftborder 10
xTaskbarrightborder 10

xTaskbarbuttonxspacing 4
xTaskbarbuttonyspacing 2

Taskbuttonmaxheight 25
Taskbuttonmaxwidth 200

xTaskbarfontleftborder 24
xTaskbariconx 4

and this in the LABEL i'm trying to load it into

*label tasklabel
tasklabelX 0
tasklabelY 1
tasklabelHeight 1280
tasklabelWidth 170
tasklabelumage taskbar.bmp

*tasklabelModuleHook !xTaskbarLSBoxHook

Move along...nothing to see here...

Posted by member 287251 on 2005-11-26 13:32:52 link

OK I put in the code and an error box came up saying it couldn't find the Taskbar I messed with it for about an hour with no luck.

Posted by member 212670 on 2005-11-26 14:31:49 link

Try changing:
*tasklabelModuleHook !xTaskbarLSBoxHook
To:
*tasklabelModuleHook !xTaskbarLSBoxHook xTaskbar

The name of the taskbar is now required, even when using a single taskbar with the default name.

Posted by member 287251 on 2005-11-26 15:07:55 link

Tried that already doesn't work but I tried it again just to make sure and the error box still comes up saying taskbar box not found.

xLabel bang commands can be found in xlabel's help file.
